A Surprising Update About ‘Alien: Earth’ Season 2 After The Finale
Noah Hawley designed the finale as an open-ended proof-of-concept to test audience interest for additional seasons of Alien: Earth, with multiple story directions possible.
- FX's Alien: Earth's first season finale, episode 8 titled 'The Real Monsters,' was released Tuesday, September 23 in the US on Disney Plus.
- The season tested if enough viewers want an Alien series to justify costly further seasons while ending on a cliffhanger shifting the power balance.
- In the finale, Wendy and the Lost Boys take control of Boy Kavalier's operation and the Hybrids command a Xenomorph bonded to Wendy.
- The show’s first two episodes amassed 464 million minutes watched, and Boy Kavalier's final line, “Now we rule,” signals a triumphant power shift, with the season seen as a proof of concept.
- Showrunner Noah Hawley and actors expressed cautious optimism about renewal and hope to explore these dynamics further, but no official season two confirmation exists yet.
